August Burns Red announce eighth album with “teaser” studio footage

August Burns Red have started working on their eighth full-length studio album and teased fans about when they’ll get to hear it

Earlier this summer, the band’s vocalist Jake Luhrs talked a bit about new music they were working on, but no album was confirmed.

“We’ve been working pretty hard on writing,” Luhrs said. “We’re definitely excited about the direction and the growth that August Burns Red is going. We’re going to still keep it real aggressive and heavy, but I think there’s a lot of cool, different dynamics.” 

“The direction that the band is going as far as songwriters is really kind of cool, and I think it’s going to be a little bit more the ability to digest the music – not saying it’s going to get any more simplified per se, but it’s going to be easier for the listener to really grasp what’s going on,” he continued. 

He then went on to explain what he meant by that to give some insight as to what it will sound like. 

“A lot of times on previous albums, we’ve decided to go off to a different place where it’s very progressive and really outside the box,” he said.  “We’ve played with that a little bit, and it’s really cool, because if you listen to all the albums … they’re not the same. This record, you can see the growth and see the changes. I think it’s really important for us to continue to do that.” 

Now, we have confirmation that they’re working on the album. You can see their posts below.
